Studying in GuatemalaGuatemala is one of the most bio-diverse and historically significant countries in Central America. Because of its shape, the country is bordered by four different countries - Mexico to the north, Belize to the northeast, and Honduras and El Salvador to the southeast; as well as Pacific Ocean and Caribbean coasts. The country's abundance of biologically unique ecosystems makes the entire MesoAmerican region a biodiversity hotspot. The Classic period of MesoAmerican civilization corresponds to the height of Guatemala's Maya Civilization and is represented by countless sites throughout the country, and today "Guatemaltecos" are very proud of their indigenous cultures. The City - AntiguaLa Antigua is situated at 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) above sea level in the central highlands of Guatemala in the department of Sacatepequez. It is the most popular destination in the country for both tourists and Guatemalans alike, and is famous for its well preserved colonial architecture and spectacular ruins - so much so that the entire city has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Antigua's Central Plaza is the heart of the city, and the center bustles with locals and international visitors year round. La Antigua is the first stop for everyone visiting Guatemala and it's the perfect launching point for trips to Lake Atitlan, Tikal, the jungle, and Pacific coast, all of which are just a few hours away. Getting AroundLa Antigua is an easy 30-45 minutes by bus or private shuttle from Guatemala City, where most international flights land. After a day in La Antigua, it's easy to follow the basic grid system of the center. Transportation is mostly on foot, taxi, or "tuc tuc" (3-wheeled motorcycle style taxi). If you're walking, Guatemalans are very open and friendly and are always willing to lend a hand with directions. Eating OutLa Antigua has an abundance of excellent restaurants including both traditional Guatemalan food, Mexican food, and international fare. In La Antigua, you can enjoy delicious and inexpensive local meals at a number of restaurants and at the central market. Prices range from as little $0.80 at the market to very expensive and elegantly prepared international dishes. And of course don't forget to try Guatemala's world famous coffee - it easily rivals that of Costa Rica. ShoppingLa Antigua has great little shops, boutiques, and small locally owned stores where you can buy souvenirs, traditional textiles and ceramics, antiques, and other products. The city center and the surrounding villages are also famous for their handicraft markets, as well as their open-air markets for great fruits and vegetables. NightlifeMost clubs and bars in Antigua are concentrated around the Arco de Santa Catalina or within a block or two of the Central Plaza. There's a lively nightlife with a wide variety of places, including live music. Bars and restaurants officially wrap up business at 1:00AM, but there's an active after-hours scene in La Antigua, so people who prefer late nights won't be disappointed. Antigua is a safe city, but it pays to be vigilant. You should never walk alone at night, and you should be very careful with your valuables. The SchoolINTESOL Guatemala's offices in La Antigua, are located in a beautiful colonial building, just 2 blocks from the Central Plaza and the Santa Catalina arch; and La Antigua is a short 30 to 45 minute ride from Guatemala City. The offices have been designed with the needs of clients and staff in mind. Every location provides modern computers running Windows and MS-Office; high-speed Internet connections including office-wide WiFi access are also available 7 days a week.
